Chapter 10
Meg's POV
I wasn't surprised to know that they'd change his schedule to match mine. They'd already told him to be in our school. But I was surprised when Maxie got up and moved to Felicity and Blake's table. Now it was just me and him. Me and Hercules. He sat down, both his pearl white teeth and bright blue eyes smiling. Wow, I couldn't help thinking, his eyes are so pretty. But I shook my head. I couldn't think about pretty eyes. I heard some kids muffle their laughter around me. I turned my attention to Mr. Moller's lecture to understand what the laughing was about.
Once I knew what the lecture was, the reason for the laughing was obvious. Sexual reproduction. Oh boy, sounds fun. Turns out what I just missed was the assigning of a genetic parent project, where the two people sitting at a table would be the parents of a kid they "made" from their own genetic traits. Even more fun. So now I guess me and Hercules will be the parents of our own kid.
Shelly turned around. "Well Meg, don't you think this will be fun?" she asked, looking at me, then Hercules, then me again. Then, in some crevice of my mind, I decided that playing along with Shelly would be just as fun.
I nodded. "Actually it does sound fun. I'm so looking forward to this." I said while staring right at Hercules. He turned a million shades of red, then back to normal color after a few seconds. The bell rang right then. I collected my stuff and joined my friends at the door.
"Meg! Wait!" Hercules called. I turned around. He had followed us halfway across the campus yelling my name. I looked at the other students around us. People were staring. I sighed. I hated when people stared.
"What?"
"Can I talk to you?"
I looked at my friends. "Can I?" They all nodded and gave sneaky little smiles. I knew what they were thinking, but I pushed that aside. He probably just wanted to talk about the project or where his locker was or something. I turned around and towards him. He seemed so happy that I did. I couldn't help but smile back. Hercules just seemed like the kind of person you had to smile when around him. And if you didn't you would look and feel like a freak. I approached him.
"Yes?" I asked. He looked like he forgot what he was going to say. Either that or he quickly changed what he was about to say.
"Oh um, yeah, well since we're going to be partners for this project, I was wondering if you wanted to get to know each other a little bit?" He seemed so uncomfortable asking this, like he was expecting me to deny.
I nodded my head. "Yeah. Actually that sounds really cool. I guess we could. When?" He looked around.
"Well since it's a passing period, maybe we could start now." I laughed.
"Sure. Where do you want to start?" I asked. I was surprised at how much I wanted to know about him.
